Zoom Help

The tutoring sessions will take place on Zoom, an app that allows both video and audio conferences. Zoom even lets you or your tutor share their screen with you. The app is perfect for online meetings. If you have a computer with a webcam, a phone, or a tablet, you can use Zoom. Below is some help with setting up Zoom and joining your meeting.
